Hey, Slayers! Happy 1-week-since-launch day! Today's patch mostly contains a lot of bug fixes, but it also contains a few art additions and a new limit to max HP values.

You can access it by right-clicking on Slay the Spire 2 in your Steam Library, then clicking Properties > Game Versions & Betas > public-beta.

MODDING

Reworked mod structure

mod_manifest.json has been moved outside of the PCK. All mods should now ship with an additional file named <mod_id>.json - see ModManifest for the new JSON structure.

PCK is no longer required for all mods. Json is the only file that is required to declare a mod. The json must declare whether the mod includes a pck/dll file.

settings.save now includes a list of all mods that were loaded in the last game run. Reordering this list affects load order.

Mods may declare dependencies in the manifest. If settings.save declares a load order incompatible with the listed dependencies, then a re-sort is forced.

Added affects_gameplay field to mod manifest. If false, then the mod will not be checked against the host's mods in a multiplayer game.

Updated 0Harmony/MonoMod to support mac arm64. Manually overwriting it should no longer be required.
